'Brexit is being betrayed by the worst platoon ever assembled since Captain Mannering', says George Galloway

George Galloway delivered bruising criticism of the team currently negotiating the UK withdrawal from the EU in the opening monologue on his show.

Negotiations have reached an impasse over a reported failure to decide upon a variety of issues like the Irish border and the so-called 'divorce bill.'

In his opening rant on The Mother of All Talk Shows, our host claimed the wishes expressed by 17.4 million people in the EU referendum vote of 2016 were being "systematically betrayed."

He said: "Brexit is presently being betrayed. I don’t know where it will all end up, but of one thing, I am sure.

"These jokers, the worst platoon ever assembled since Captain Mannering at Warminster-on-Sea, when he formed a home guard to face the European foe, no bigger platoon of jokers has ever been assembled than the people going back and forth to Brussels and the EU empire to negotiate our withdrawal from it.

"The hateful, belligerent, bullying and blackmailing partner we now face, Herr Juncker and the other well-fed, well-upholstered Eurocrats who are demanding more and more, tens of billions from us for leaving their club, are getting encouragement from a fifth column within.

"Within Parliament, within this country, the Government, the deep state, Whitehall, the BBC, the Times, and the country houses of the nouveau riche, all of them are doing their best to destroy Britain’s exit from the EU."

George also vehemently defended the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn against allegations of anti-Semitism - but blasted those who would consider the Holocaust to be open to debate, saying it should be made a criminal offence in the UK.
